“My boyfriend and I loved this cruise! I was hesitant because I read that the boat is usually crowded, unkept and visits busy areas, but I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of room on the beautiful, clean boat and most stops we made there was only us. The food was delicious, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and I enjoyed all on the activities! Definitely my favourite thing we did while on Cat Ba.”
